Skipping (15 minutes). Skipping ropes are cheap and lightweight, and they can be used pretty much anywhere. Make sure you have a good pair of cross trainers and that you stretch your leg muscles, especially your calves, before and after each session. Not only does skipping work the heart and lungs, your legs and upper body get a great workout too. Fifteen minutes' exercise will burn 100 calories or more. You may have to start in bursts of two to three minutes, but you will be surprised how quickly your body adapts.
